Surface 2, um, "sells out"

Just a day after Microsoft ham-handedly revealed that it would not provide Windows 10 to its Windows RT-based Surface tablets, the current-generation version, Surface 2, suddenly disappeared from Microsoft's online store. Well, the product can still be seen in the store, but all three models—32 GB, 64 GB, and 64 GB with LTE—are listed as "out of stock." Since it's inconceivable there was a run on these obviously orphaned products, we can only reach one conclusion: it's dead, Jim. And then there's this delicious Microsoft PR quote: "Surface 2 is available at Best Buy. Microsoft doesn't have anything to share beyond that."

Microsoft isn't alone in abandoning stuff - google wave, GWT, google glass (maybe) etc., heck google even boasts its failures - but this is on a different scale. I think Microsoft should have approached this experiment more cautiously.
